Review on ๐Ÿงต Versatile 1 MM White Leather Cord: 25 M (82 Feet) Hank for Various Crafting Projects by Kristen Simpson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

generally good and easy to use; cannot withstand very heavy use

I bought this to make wrap bracelets. This is pretty much exactly what I was looking for. I haven't actually measured it, but you get quite a bit - definitely more than enough to make multiple bracelets. (This is a problem with many other leather cords of this diameter. You just don't get much, and to make the bracelets I think you need continuous lengths.) I find the 1mm diameter to be accurate. I can thread it through the holes or the rivets on the decorative buttons to form the bracelet's clasps. It is easy to cut with regular craft scissors and is very flexible. It ties well too, although I usually secure the knots with some glue just to be on the safe side. (It looks exactly like the official product image, not on a spool or anything.) It has no odor and nothing rubs off your skin either when you do something with it or when you wear a bracelet made from it. You can use it as the main thread on a bead loom if you like; it works especially well with large beads (I used gemstone beads). It feels strong and stiff enough for what it is and has little natural stretch. The only possible downside is that I have some chipping on the outer surface. It's really very small, but I'm interested in continuing to use it over time. (Honestly it's been a few months now and no more issues.) I only make jewelry for myself and try not to wear my jewelry too often so it lasts. But if you're thinking about selling your work, you might want to buy something more expensive. If you don't make jewelry but use it for some other purpose and whatever you do doesn't get touched or handled often, this will likely work for you.

Pros
  • Genuine leather cord
Cons
  • Cord shorter than other picks
